Hi everyone. In case you are interested, Sananda Maitreya just released Chapter 3 of his Angels and Vampires project. You can download it, listen to it for free up to 3 times and then purchase it.

Just go to his website: www.sanandamaitreya.com

and click on the icon that says "Angels and Vampires."

If you have no idea who Sananda Maitreya is, go to his website. You may discover that you actually DO know who he is.

Anyways, the music is killer. Don't sleep on it.

Hey Emilio

People here now do know who Sananda is, don't ya worry

YES great songs indeed, 4 this time even!!

* Requiem (for our war dead)
which is an instrumental piece (of 10.30 minutes).

* Losing Becomes Too Easy

* We Are The Living!
(my fav already!! a wonderful song with a very catchy hook/melody)

* Psychotherapy

Enjoy!

Love
Lily

i must say im really starting to love this album, and im diggin the flow to it that shows more with each chapter, chapter 2 so far has to be my fav, but im loving the new songs from 3 already!! really looking forward to the full album!

"TO ENSURE THE QUALITY OF THESE RECORDINGS NO A&R EXECUTIVES WERE ALLOWED WITHIN A THREE MILE RADIUS OF THE RECORDING SESSION"

i love that quote!

by the way lily chapter 3 isnt linked on the main angels and vampires page, i had to find it through web-vibes

Perhaps your cache was the reason you didn't see it, coz the link was/is there alright

But thank you for the notice anyway!

Love
Lily

Just go to www.sanandamaitreya.com and click on the icon that says "Angels and Vampires." It shouldn't give you any trouble.

Those songs are very cool , I will buy them

i could have sworn VH1 said that is errence trent d'arby in some other name on where are they now and they made fun of him saying his name was sonata and they thought he named his self after a car

Oh, well if VH1 says it then it's gotta be true, after all,these are the same geniuses that brought us musical prodigys such as Ashlee Simpson, Chingy, Nelly, Britney Spears, and (insert name of another talentless phony here).

i cant get enough of all 10 of these songs together now, the new chapter is great!!!

Yes it is!

I completely agree. Every time a new chapter comes out, I burn all the songs from the entire project together on a cd so it's kinda like having an album already...although of course it's not finished yet.

I'm just listening at the first track of A&V part 3, it's great so far and kind of reminds me of some B-sides from Introducing (Sananda playing the piano pure instrumental, it's obvious he's also influenced by Bach, Mozart etc.)

P.S.Emilio, why didn't you also put the link to this post at
http://www.sanandamaitrey....php?t=210 ?

Yeah, it's me good old Johnny boy.

Spread the word Sananda (TTD) is back with some great music. Angels and Vampires part 3 includes another 4 songs and they are great.

Hey, Johnny Boy!!!! What's up my friend? I just posted a message for you at the Sananda forum a little while ago. Now I know your "name" on this forum so I'll be on the lookout for your posts. The new chapter is great! You are right, I do hear the classical influences on "Requiem (for our war dead)" and I think it's very cool that Sananda had the balls to come out with something like that which I'm sure most of us did not expect.

I can only second that, it's f a n t a s t i c !

I read it and of course there's an answer waiting for you to be read.
I totally agree with you, we seem to be at the same brainwave lately.
When you want to read the posts and join the action I'd say go to the actions post at Sananda's site. The topic at the top contents links to posts I did concerning Sananda. It would be great when you'd join the discussions.

Glad he's finally decided to drop "Terence Trent D'Arby" entirely. He changed his name a long while ago, so it makes total sense. Most of his fans know he's Sananda anyway.

I agree. I think most people who really love and respect his music have already accepted the name change. It's really not a big deal. Whenever I speak to people about his music, I always refer to him as Sananda Maitreya, to the point that it honestly feels weird to say Terence Trent D'arby. It's kinda like Muhammad Ali...you don't hear anyone refer to him as Cassius Clay. And of course there are so many people in show business that have changed their name and people don't realize it. Sananda changed his name for spiritual reasons. If you are unfamiliar with the guy, it may sound like it's some sort of publicity stunt, but anyone who seriously follows his work can see that it's no stunt, it's the real deal, and you gotta respect that.

Prince changed his name more often than anyone else did. At a certain period of time he even used several names, except Prince. He participated on various albums with different names, on Exodus (1995) by the NPG for example.

When can I actually get the cd? I don't like the sound of the files I've gotten before.I need the cd.

rockwilder said:

It's not known yet when the album is gonna be released on CD, he's only recorded 10 songs so far. Hope he'll finish up recording soon, cause I also want to have the real thing.

What's your opinion on A&V part 3 of Sananda?

rockwilder said:

It's eventually gonna be released on cd but I think that's still about a year away because he is still recording new songs to be released online in the coming months. What's wrong with the way he's releasing it now? I've burned all the songs to a cd and the music sounds fantastic, the same quality as buying something in a store. I love the way that Sananda is releasing the songs...I prefer it this way as opposed to having to wait 2 or 3 years between albums to get new music. This way, the songs are released pretty much right after they were recorded...so they are basically fresh outta the oven.

It is a cool idea and I d/l the tracks from wildcard before buying the cd.The d/l files cannot compare in any way to the crispness of the cd sound.It sounded muted in comparison. I will only gladly buy his cd's.

I like the way he's giving us a listen to what he's doing. But I agree on wanting to have the real thing. I want to have a CD with booklet, burning music on a CD isn't the same for me. Still I love to be able to listen to his songs already, for the album isn't finished yet.
